I have been trying to load Black Dahlia without success. is it possible to play it on windows 2000 pro ? I get failure readings on the disc yet there are no scratches and I can access all the files in explore. When I try to load it through DOS it asks for vesa drivers. Will following your XP advice help? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Best,HCH

I loaded and set up DOSBOX with no problem. But when I begin the Black Dahlia dossetup command it lets me detect and test the sound card but when I continue from there,there is a momenteary flash of the next page and the program kicks me out to the dos prompt. Any ideas?

I've never heard of anyone using DOSBox to play Black Dahlia and I'm not sure it's possible.

I also don't know if Black Dahlia will work in Win 2000's compatibility mode either. It isn't as sophisticated as the compatibility mode in XP. But if you want to try it, here are a couple of links telling how to activate it.

Finally success! I enabled win 2000 compatibility mode and sent the install windows icon fron the CD to the desktop, enabled the now desktop icons 95 compatibility tab and everything seems to be running OK though the video opening seems a tad jerky. Thanks inferno and Jenny for your advice.Best,H Houghton
